The following are the 2 lists of forms of monarchy
1. Absolute monarchy
2. Constitutional monarchy
Absolute
monarchy: This is when the ruler has no constitutional limitation.
There is no established constitutional authority to check the king’s
power. In this situation the king rules as the Head of state and Head of
government. Some examples are Lois XIV of France (1643 – 1715),
Frederick the Great Russia (1743 -1786) etc.
Constitutional monarchy: The power is regulated by the constitution. In this type of government the ruler is under check by the constitution. Also, he or she is bound to respect not only the letters of the constitution but also the laws of the state. Britain is a good example of a constitutional monarchy.
